'We are doing just enough to stay compliant with the state and county directives, and nothing beyond that'
At fast-food chains around the country, workers complain that not enough is being done to keep them safe. Photo: Andrew Harrer/Bloomberg via Getty Images Along with health-care professionals, online delivery workers, and others, workers at fast-food chains have been deemed “essential” employees. They must now put themselves at risk in order to cook, deliver food, and keep their stores up and running.
It’s really telling. A lot of it comes down to the way the system is built. We all still need to pay our bills. You have to decide what puts you more at risk: being evicted or eventually being affected by COVID-19? It’s a personal decision that everybody has to make. Take this with a grain of salt, but many of my co-workers around the country are warning on Reddit that their jobs may not be waiting for them if they choose to quarantine.
We are doing just enough to stay compliant with the state and county directives, and nothing beyond that. It does seem like the way we’re doing things — the bare minimum — is a national thing, which is concerning. It seems like for every one store that is doing things right, there are another dozen or hundred stores that aren’t.
Our lobby is closed for carryout and to walk-ups. All orders are supposed to be prepaid so that cash and cards aren’t handled in person, and the customer is supposed to stay in their car until we place their order on the hood or roof of their car. None of these rules are being followed consistently. Managers not only ignore the rules but also break them. We are accepting payment at the time of customer arrival, card or cash.
One of our drivers entered self-quarantine in mid-March, after a co-worker at another job tested positive for COVID-19. After he relayed to us that he was self-quarantining, I told my management staff that we needed to shut the store down for at least half a day to sanitize the whole place. Like, every inch of the store. That didn’t happen. There weren’t any additional steps taken after.
Late in March, my county put out a new order that all workplaces still open need to screen each employee at the start of their shift for symptoms, including fever. I was screened the first day after the directive came out, and since then they haven’t been screening anyone who comes into work. I haven’t seen it happen, at least. We don’t have any kind of log, and I’m not being asked when I come into work if I have any symptoms.
